Are they somewhat padded in the heel of the hand and the fleshy part of the hand where the thumb begins, so they can absorb some recoil?

Its more of a thin layer of leather. Not padded.kind of acts like a way to add grip

They are not padded. Also, for me they run a little small for the size listed. I purchased a men's large and they are just a little tight. Next time, I will select the XL size.

They are decent for light bag work. If you keep control and form they will be fine. Nice medium between protection and damaging for calcification. The lower knuckles will be exposed.

You slide your hands in grip with your thumb. I think they would fit any size hand comfortably. My husband used them and he has large hands, then I used them and I have smaller hands and much shorter fingers. We both found them very comfortable.

No, these gloves dont have half fingers. The material is light weight and isnt bulky in the trigger guard.

no, the gloves are flexible. not sure that you can full fist, but they work for paintball well enough.

I would imagine it would lessen the pain. The hand grips are comfortable and they move without effort.

The palms of the gloves are flexible. I have no problem holding a shinai bamboo sword, and using it for practice while wearing these.

yes, they have a good amount of grip for the price you are getting them. i would recommend these gloves if you're looking for a cheaper price and they will last if you take care of them.

Yes, they stretch to fit. I even wear the left glove on my right hand sometimes.

In my case, they only "go up past my wrist" just under 1 inch. Otherwise, these gloves are a good general fit for my hands.

these are not open palmed and yes they have a padded bar also. these are great gloves.

No, and this is a significantly negative factor if you are accustomed to padded arms. Plus, they slope away from you at an uncomfortable arc, so it can be a problem.

Padding is on the knuckle side. Yes, I sometimes use them as weight lifting gloves.

They will provide moderate protection, but they are not thick. I think you become more aware of your hands because of the glove, which may help.

No. The gloves are form fitting and snug around the wrist to prevent any dirt from getting in.

As far as I can tell they are there from thumb grip purposes, as in when you push down to cut something and have your thumb on the spine. Also can be used with the firestarter if you end up keeping it..

they do not give enough knuckle padding for a regular fight but are fine when using sparring and bag gloves. Offer plenty of wrist support when training
